A couple of days ago, at the end of my article ‘Omnishambles, omnishambles, omnishambles’, I wrote ‘Coming soon: Borishambles!’. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously; I was just acknowledging the Blond Buffoon’s popularity with Tory diehards.

But in a week when Tory backbench rebels handed the government a major Commons defeat over the EU budget, Boris gave me an early Christmas present. Watch this:

I know he was being followed by hecklers who were provoking him by calling him ‘Tory scum’ – but, while it’s impossible to say I approve of such language, considering the Conservative Party’s record since it came into government with the Liberal Democrats, that probably counts as merely mild criticism.

Boris didn’t see it that way. He snapped. The only remaining – even remotely – acceptable face of the Nasty Party showed its fangs. There’s no going back from that.

If you don’t like what the Coalition is doing in government, and you want to exercise your right to free speech about it, then in Boris Johnson’s mind you are a “Lefty tosser”.

Nice one, Boris. It’ll take a few more like that to completely ruin your chances of taking the Tory leadership, but there’s plenty of time.

The blond buffoon possibly sees himself in the same role as one Jimmy Savile; one who, by a self-assumed ‘charisma’ and ‘popular touch’ thinks he can steer his own particular path around politics and society. And so the more the Bullingdon Berk acts like a common-place yob, the more he thinks he can charm and capture the common-place vote.
I feel he is deluding himself without realising; he isn’t deluding the populace, who clearly see him as the imbecile he is. I suspect he could run a jolly spiffing wine-tasting at Plonker’s Wine Bar, but a political party? He would have to grow up first, if that’s at all possible.
